Abstract

In a method for producing different rail variants from an assembly set, and system having a vehicle which is movable on a rail part, the assembly set includes a rail profile part and two different reactive components, and the rail profile part includes an interface at which one of the different reactive components is optionally able to be connected.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
The invention claimed is: 
     
       1. A system, comprising:
 a vehicle movable on a rail part, the rail part being provided with a rail profile part, wherein the rail profile part has a plurality of drilling aids disposed at a distance from each other; 
 wherein the drilling aids are arranged as grooves, and/or drilling grooves, extending in a rail direction, parallel to each other, drilling grooves being situated on a top side, and additional drilling grooves on a side surface, so that a primary conductor is threadable through a bore provided in the drilling groove. 
 
     
     
       2. The system according to  claim 1 , wherein the rail profile part is arranged as a continuous cast component, including the drilling aids, the rail profile part being made of aluminum. 
     
     
       3. The system according to  claim 1 , wherein a recess for conveying a cooling medium, air, pressurized air, water, oil, and or hydraulic oil is situated in the rail profile part. 
     
     
       4. The system according to  claim 1 , further comprising at least one running surface for a wheel of a vehicle. 
     
     
       5. The system according to  claim 1 , wherein the rail profile part has a recess which is used as hollow conductor, and a recess which is used as slotted hollow conductor, an antenna for inputting and/or outputting electromagnetic radiation into the hollow conductor, the system further comprising an antenna for inputting and/or outputting electromagnetic radiation into the slotted hollow conductor, and the vehicle having an antenna for inputting and/or outputting electromagnetic radiation into the slotted hollow conductor. 
     
     
       6. The system according to  claim 1 , wherein a frequency of electromagnetic waves input into a hollow conductor differs by less than a factor of two from a frequency of electromagnetic waves input into a slotted hollow conductor. 
     
     
       7. The system according to  claim 1 , wherein additional recesses which are usable as hollow conductors are disposed in the rail profile part, dimensions being so small that a frequency must be used that is at least twice as high than that for a slotted hollow conductor. 
     
     
       8. A system, comprising:
 a vehicle movable on a rail part, the rail part being provided with a rail profile part, wherein the rail profile part has a plurality of drilling aids disposed at a distance from each other; 
 wherein a bore is arranged at a first drilling aid, where a first reactive component is joined using a screwed connection, and a drilling aid set apart from the first drilling aid is situated on the rail profile part unused, to be used in a screwed connection with a reactive component that differs from the first reactive component. 
 
     
     
       9. The system according to  claim 8 , wherein the drilling aids are situated in a groove and/or at a base of a groove. 
     
     
       10. The system according to  claim 9 , wherein the groove is arranged in a running surface. 
     
     
       11. The system according to  claim 8 , wherein the rail profile part is arranged as a continuous cast component, including the drilling aids, the rail profile part being made of aluminum. 
     
     
       12. The system according to  claim 8 , wherein a recess for conveying a cooling medium, air, pressurized air, water, oil, and or hydraulic oil is situated in the rail profile part. 
     
     
       13. The system according to  claim 8 , further comprising at least one running surface for a wheel of a vehicle. 
     
     
       14. The system according to  claim 8 , wherein additional recesses which are usable as hollow conductors are disposed in the rail profile part, dimensions being so small that a frequency must be used that is at least twice as high than that for a slotted hollow conductor. 
     
     
       15. A system, comprising:
 a vehicle movable on a rail part, the rail part being provided with a rail profile part, wherein the rail profile part has a plurality of drilling aids disposed at a distance from each other; and 
 a receiver arranged on the rail profile part, where a holding device and/or a plastic profile part, accommodating a primary conductor is fixable, into which a medium frequency alternating current is able to be impressed, at a frequency between 10 and 500 kHz, so that a secondary winding disposed on the vehicle is inductively coupled to the primary conductor, which is installed in elongated form in a rail direction, and a capacity is connected to the secondary winding, in series or in parallel, such that an associated resonant frequency substantially corresponds to a frequency of an alternating current input into the primary conductor. 
 
     
     
       16. The system according to  claim 15 , wherein the rail profile part is arranged as a continuous cast component, including the drilling aids, the rail profile part being made of aluminum. 
     
     
       17. The system according to  claim 15 , wherein a recess for conveying a cooling medium, air, pressurized air, water, oil, and or hydraulic oil is situated in the rail profile part. 
     
     
       18. The system according to  claim 15 , further comprising at least one running surface for a wheel of a vehicle. 
     
     
       19. The system according to  claim 15 , wherein additional recesses which are usable as hollow conductors are disposed in the rail profile part, dimensions being so small that a frequency must be used that is at least twice as high than that for a slotted hollow conductor. 
     
     
       20. The system according to  claim 15 , wherein the drilling aids are situated in a groove and/or at a base of a groove. 
     
     
       21. The system according to  claim 20 , wherein the groove is arranged in a running surface.
